new zealand couple runs w/ $6mm

So I heard about this bank error on Today’s show. It’s basically about a man named Leo Gao who received over $6 million in his bank account in error and instead of notifying the bank, he decided to flee the country with his girl friend Kara Young with the money. Then I found out he is KOREAN!!!!! WTF????? Seriously, why I am hearing so much about Koreans in the news? It sucks since it’s usually something bad.
